[Marxism] Re: Galloway on video on Internet

>i  thought Galloway was almost perfect in his testimony but i also
thought he could have, rather than dodging the question, confronted that
SOB carl levin (sp?) by asking him what was the point of that constant
grilling which galloway had to put up with (and, after all, took up at
least a quarter of the 47 minutes of his testimony)

Yes indeed. After all, what is this so-called committee supposed to be
doing?

They either know or don't know about the kickbacks, which take place
both legally and illegally throughout the world. Of what relevance are
Galloway's private feelings about what it may have taken to do business
with Saddam Hussein? A comment on the whole purpose of the committee
may have been in order.

On the other hand, it was Galloway who volunteered to come--primarily,
I believe, for the purpose of refuting its lies about him. It may have
been a little contradictory to at the same time attack the rationale of
investigating the oil for food program. He didn't have to come, after
all.

The whole testimony and give-and-take was almost musical, with
thunderous passages followed by muted transitions, allowing you to see
that Galloway did not just breath fire and ice. Just when the tension
became difficult to bear, Galloway allowed you to have a little rest.

A welcome and superior replacement for the Daily Show, which was in
reruns this week.
